I love you too R! And yeah.... Brianne OR Denise couldn't emote if they had a gun held to their head. Its really painful to watch. They are just BAD, BAD actors. Brianne should get out and go to university to get a career she is good at. I mean.... I don't blame her. Its TPTB that seem to find something redeeming about her portrayal. The whole time I just kept thinking about Ambyr Childs..... she was no emmy winner..... but she at least could hold her own in a scene.

The non reaction to Stuart's death (eye dropper tears do not count).... :rolleyes:

And YES Luner did try. I actually thought she was very good in those scenes.... and also probably thinking who the hell is this girl and what is she doing here..... Luner seems to be mouthy and kind of crass..... Pratt loves her.... maybe she will request she be fired if she is going to be working with her... I mean AWFUL thing.... but I'd actually secretly LOVE Luner if she were to do that.

Lunar seems like a decent actress. I could tell she was trying in those scenes as well, and I also agree - you could almost tell she was thinking in her head (re: Moncrief), "Damn, this chick SUCKS!".

I just have a hard time thinking of her as Liza... but that's obviously no fault of the actress.

It works better to think of her as a totally new character.

Ok, I have to say this...

Love Jamie Luner. Love her acting. Love her body. Love her.

But she's not Liza.

Today, during her scenes with Zach, I was like: "Oh, Skye's here...wait, no, Liza! Skye? Nope.. still Liza...hmmmm.." :lol:

Aiden/Ryan scenes were laughable...two bad actors in one scene...

Colby OMFG...

Guilty or not, Zach Slater needs to die by a slow, painful death.

I only remember Lunar from that sitcom 20+ years ago "Just the Ten of Us." The spin-off from Growing Pains. She was one of the coach's daughters. I never watching Melrose Place or Savannah so I have no idea about either of those characters she played on those shows.

Speaking of Melrose Place -- ABC canceled According to Jim... Does this mean Pratt will talk Courtney Thorne Smith into playing a recast Hayley?

KIDDING! JUST KIDDING!

You know he'd call up Josie Bissett.

Yep! 1999 that was when Agnes Nixon came back for her last time as headwriter (well co headwriter) largely doing the Bianca story. I LOVED that Marian story--it was very old school AMC and a welcome change for the show even if it was always just a B story.

Lunar *feels* like Skye to me already--I guess they wanted the Marian/Colby connection? That's the onlyr eason i can see for making her Liza and not Skye (and Tad connection)

Maybe with Sutart gone ( :( ) Marian can return to these ways a bit? AMC needs a new Phoebe/snobby rich character. I thougth we had that with the HORRIBLY wasted Mary but...

Enid and her Daughters of Fine Lineage friends would certainly have stopped a casino from being built in their small town!

I really enjoyed this episode.

First off, as everyone else has said, it was great to see people finally grieving for the dead man. Unfortunately, it had to turn out to be Stuart before the grief began, but even JR showed more emotion today than he has all week. I also cried buckets when Scott saw his dad's body.

Brianne shouldn't still be there. How is she keeping her job?

I like Luner even though she doesn't feel like Liza. I think Liza fits the story better though because she's a viable suspect as opposed to Skye whom we know would never shoot her father. Liza also has a history with David that makes her faux pregnancy more interesting (he kept the truth about Colby's paternity from her & Jake, if you recall).

Tad's jokes were really bad and I hope that part of the storyline ends soon, but I think his lack of compassion while everyone around him was grieving means the part of his brain that controls sympathy was damaged. This could be a fascinating story and give Michael Knight Emmy-worthy material.

    • Marland was long gone by this point.  He quit in either August/September 1982. I think it was due to letting the actress play out her contract and use her for party scenes and/or scenes with Phillip/Justin.   I was surprised she was still on in June 1983 myself, because I figured she had been written out before Pam Long joined the writing staff. Thankfully, having episodes uploaded during this period on Spauldingfield YT site has helped to connect some of the dots.  It looks as though Pam Long starts the first week or so of May 1983.. and in those first few weeks: Morgan and Evie were both written off and Lillian/Mindy/Billy/Beth/Annabelle all come onto the show.

    • I can't watch until later (Canada issues). What is Philip's motivation for stealing the drug? Only plot I cared about today and you did not mention it 
    • Doug III’s first day of work. Hope he does a good job… or that Tate tries to sabotage him somehow

      His scenes with Holly were nice though. They’re sweet together and I understand why some people think that they have more chemistry than Tate/Holly do. And I liked that Doug III opened up to her about his past. Maybe that could lead to something good happening in the future.  I also enjoyed Roman and Kate, and how they’re both being tied into EJ’s shooting. The mystery of it all is really compelling. I don’t think Roman is the shooter though either.  I didn’t have much sympathy for Kristen though. She has no one to blame for Rachel’s problems than herself. But at the same time, I’m really surprised that Days actually remembered the Alex/Kristen fling. I thought Ron had erased that from existence. I’m not shipping them at all, but I’m definitely shipping a permanent end to Brady/Kristen but after today, I’m not so sure about that either.  And, Johnny and Chanel were still great together

    • Some country club revelation thoughts from a casual watcher no one asked for. The Great: Daphnee Duplaix gave the best performance we've seen yet. Nicole's dialogue was also well thought out and felt character specific. TJ Maxx Ted was also pretty good. Trisha Mann-Grant steals every scene she's in. Often without even trying. Carrying multiple episodes worth of exposition heavy soap dialogue with starts and stops and recapping and drama and humor is no small feat and she nailed. Vernon telling Lesliana to STFU.  The Bad: So much of the dialogue for the rest of the cast was overly written. Martin said "You are a vile human being with a hole in your heart!". Marty, what are we doing? It's SO dramatic and sounds so silly coming from this grown man. Do Bill and Hayley do anything but talk about the Duprees? And the nerve of her to get so excited to find out Ted is a cheater when she and her husband are too. There should be a hint of shame mixed in with your glee, ma'am. The Questionable: Coffee and a rendition of Amazing Grace after finding out Nicole was betrayed by her husband. The Duprees are an odd bunch. The stinger of one segment had Anita prepared to lambast Lesliana, when we came back someone else was talking. When Anita eventually said something to Wig, it was a lukewarm at best. And then of course she thought singing a song about something that should absolutely not be extended to her son-in-law. The entire family allowing this deranged woman to speech at them in their own was...nuts. I know she said something about what would the neighbors say but my GOD. Is she just going to be allowed to trespass whenever she feels like it now? The focus on Leslie and her wig usage as an oddity is...odd. I think Chelsea said something like "and she wears wigs!" (while wearing a buss down middle part). Okay? It's just not that odd for a black woman to change up her hair. It's the different names that's the problem. I know it's meant to be humorous, in a throwback soap kind of way, but it fell flat for me.  I'm sorry I find the whole family to be WEIRD. It's like they want us to see them as ruthless yet benevolent, open yet furtive, snobbish yet tooth achingly sweet all at the same time. I cannot get a lock on the family dynamics. Everyone is just there.  I'm gonna cry if this show doesn't start giving us ages (or close to it!) for these characters. Because if Eva is 21-22 then Martin was being given crayons, a soda pop and blinders when he was 15-17 years old. Martin had to have been under 8 for me to buy this story, which would make Eva and Kat late 20s (Martin is at least 35 since he wants to run for president), which I don't think they're meant to be. It's honestly minor but it bothers me. I've mentioned this to @Vee but I think the optics on opening the show with both sisters discovering their husbands of over 30 years are cheaters should've been considered. I doubt there was any intention behind it, no one's rubbing their hands together as they scheme to say the married black men can't stay loyal but how does it look? Maybe it's just me. Honestly it's probably just me!
    • Thank you very much!!!! I really appreciate it!!! I also have read the GH coffee table book from the 90s!!!
